INDIANAPOLIS MARKETS.
A Good Summer Trade In Progress and a
Healthy Tone to Business.

A Good Summer Trade In Progress and a
Healthy Tone Business.
INDIANAPOLIS, July z, 1887
A walk through the various branches of trade
shows that the volume of business is large for
mid summer, and merchants in all departments
speak of business highly satisfactory for July.
and the steady and firm tone to prices shows the
situation to be favorable to large and early
fall trade. Merchants find in summing up the
business of the first six months of the year that
it has exceeded in volume their most sanguine
expectations at the beginning of the year, aud
what is the more gratifying is the promising out
look for the remaining months of the year.
Good crops. money plenty, and the meeting of
bills with more than ordinary promptness are
among the favorable indications. In prices to
day there were but few fluctuations in values.
In the produce markets lower prices are indi-
Gated on many articles, but this is usual fruits
and vegetables become more plenty. Eggs
weak at quotations. Poultry is unchanged. but
lower prices may be looked for in
the near future. The provision market
is fairly active for mid summer In a
jobbing way there is than usual
doing. the hide market shows more life. but
rather quiet. I'D prices in the main steady and
firm. The dry goods men are taking an account
of stock and waiting on the customers as they
come in; but are not pushing things on the road
Just The wool market has Quoted down;
this years clip is ABOUT all in. The Boston Jour
nal says: 1.-THE market East is still in a very
unsatisfactory condition, and views of buyers
and sellers are unsettled and undecided as to
what the future will bring forth. Reports from
the West are still firm and favor higher prices.
and the greater part of the new clip has passed
from tie control of farmers and is held now in
second hands at prices a par with quotations
on the seaboard. The foreign markets also
ali very firm and have advancing tendency.
Our seaboard markets are the only ones that
present in themselves enlivening features, and
the only advance obtained here has been brought
about through necessity and by the difficulty of
obtaining fresh supplies except at an enhanced
cost. The real controlling elements of the
market or rather those conditions which should
have a controlling influence, and will assert
themselves prominently in the near future pre-
sent nothing encouraging to the view The
wholesale speculation in the West, therefore,
and the advanced values placed wool,
wholly uEwarranted and without precedent in
the history of the trade"
The local market not as active to-day
on Wednesday, and the bids on Change showed
that prices were easier, yet there is good de-
mand for early arrivals. Corn was frmer. and
a better feeling prevailed regarding the cereal.
Oats in good demand; prices firm. The attend
ance on Change fair and the bidding the
whole quite spirited Caution Is shown in bids

Another rise in vessel rates has raised the
barrier To the entrance Of ore beyond
that contracted for long since, while OPP
Grating to reduce production at the min
ing centres. The prevailing rate during
the week was $3.50 from Ashland, with
other points in proportion, while one
charter was noted on Tuesday at $500.
At this rate the ore shipments this sea-
son will fall far below those OF / $50. The
strike OF the ore-handlers interferes some

but barely sufficiently SO as to seriously
incommode them. No changes are re-

The lack Of facilities for landing ore in

with regard to proposition To double

owner quotes one case in point: A ves-
sci, carrying 2,040 tons OF ore arrived in
Chicagoat 1:30p. m, and at eight o'clock
the same evening left again, having dis
charged her cargo in the remarkably
short time OF six hours. The vessel, car
rying the same ore tonnage, was delayed
| i'm Cleveland nearly one whole day for
lack Of dockaee, and required about
three days longer for discharging her
cargo. Theabnormally high vessel rates
serve as n damper TO ore producers who
can not operate solely for the benefit OF
the shipping interests. They can not af-
ford to mine ore for futures because TO
do so would mean the loss OF interest ON

Tybee's Sunday Visitors.

Sunday was ushered in by invigorating
breezes rising almost to gale as the day
advanced, the breakers lifting their billowy
crests higher and higher as they chased
each other like foaming chargers to the
shore The sun shone forth resplendently
bright, and at an early hour visitors began
TO appear in large numbers. One train of
six coaches was crowded with Augusta
guests, who, disguised with the plethora of
muddy water at home, had run down to
"old ocean, to take it all in at once, and,
after disporting in the briny deep, re-
turned home without a trace of the
them, very happy, but Oh! so tired. Savan-
nah, too, poured forth her over-heated
population, anxious for sniff of the ex-
hilarating salt air, and soon the Ocean House
was crammed TO repletion, and the beach
presented moving panorama of breath
ing, joyous humanity. Ere long they began
to besiege the ''oflice" for bathing suits and
in serried rank, but preposterously absurd
costumes, invaded Neptune's domain. They
were received with knock down bullets and
copious ibations of salt water, which pros
trated not a few, and almost strangled the
remainder. Still the fight ragged
furiously until the last sinking, drip
ping and lachrymose looking assailants
from terra firma, retired in bad order, pell-
mel, edcn ScehInB lne StncUuttfy OF lDe

signs of the conflict, and thanks to fresh
water and dry garments sally forth rehabil-
itated, and himself" again. Upon the ap-
pearance of the retiring Amazons who took
part in the fray and were worsted, we
have not a word to say, but will call to ac-
count any dude who dares to attempt TO
depict their lugubrious personnel and
diminished proportions.
The day passed off peacefully and pleas
antly without any disturbance, albeit the
crowd was estimated at from 200 to 800.
Messrs. Hodges of the Ocean House, must
have dined 80 guests, and hts menu seemed
to give universal satisfaction.
The Tybee season may now be said TO be
in full blast ard every denizen of the city
should go time and again to inhale the pure
brcezes and enjoy, even for brief period,
the perfect rest and abandon of summer
watering place.
The next season will witness new and
startling improvements in the hotel accom-
modations. We invite attention TO the card

DOINGS OF TIE FLOOD.
RAILROAD TRACKS AND BRIDGES
WASHED AWAY.

A Big Gap in the Central Near Millen-
The Damage at Augusta Slight-The
Interruption of the Mail-The Wash
outs Between Opelika and Good
water
The floods in the middle and northern
part of the State have been playing havoc
with the railroads. and have injured the
Central to such an extent that no mails
have been received here from the. West or
the northern part of the State since Friday
night and none can be received before this
evening. General Manager Belknap, of
the Central, said yesterday that the
washout along the line had not
caused much damage to tho
property of the line, but they had in
terrupted travel and caused great incon-
venience both to the public and the road,
besides innicting on the latter the loss Incl
dent to a cessation of travel.
He said that the worst spot was the other
side OF Millen. The Oconeeriver has swollen
so that about 500 feet of the road has been
washed away This has shut off all COM
munication along the line between Savan-
nah and Atlanta A large force of men IS
kept at the spot. and the moment the water
falls sufficiently to allow them to go to
work they will begin to repair the
track Up 10 last night the river was run
ming so furiously that iG was Impossible to
attempt 10 do any work or to transfer the
mail in boats The mail would have been
sent around by the East Tennessee, Viz
ginia and Georgia, but there Is a washout on
that line between Jesup and Macon, aud
communication is shut off there, too. I'm
less il can be transferred this morning ii
will be taken through Waycross and Jesup
and into the city on the Savannah, Florida
md Western
Trains will be run in to Augusta to-day.
They got into the union depot last night and
they will run regularly to-day. There has
been no serious damage at Augusta in spite
of the height of the water. One minor
trestle was washed away, but that was not
considered matter of any importance.
On the Columbus and Western, between
Opelika and Goodwater, eight or ten trestles
have been washed away. Along this part
Of the line the company was building
new road. The bed had been
graded, and was ready to receive
the rails, SO instead of repairing the old
track tho road is being moved over to the
new bed A large force of men is at work,
and they will have everything in shape in
short time, This will not necessitate the
repairing of old trestles, as most OF the
gaps on the new line are spanned by perma-
nent bridges, and what trestles were to go
in were framed and ready to be placed in
position.
On the Southeastern there has been no
damage One or two bridges are weighted
down to keep them in place and that delays
the trains somewhat, but no harm has been
DONE Mr. Belknap went down to Millen
last night to look after the washout there
and see that connections were made as
soon as possible.
